My experience is that sometimes you really do want the direct light to get maximum detail (particularly some of the subtle textures that show micro-shadows). In Dan's photo, notice the way the fuzz stands out on the back petal. Always trading off different effects... Mostly I've been cheating (and in a hurry) when I want to block direct light and just moving my body to put the object in shadow. I did yesterday use a portable reflector for the first time to block out the background, made a huge difference.

Re: PESO: Pink Dogwood
I like it, Dan, but the light is a bit harsh, and parts of the flower (especially in the center) look blown out. Did you shoot in RAW so that you can recover some highlights?

Re: PESO: Pink Dogwood
Thanks, Rick. Yes, it is a bit harsh. The flowers that are accessible tend to be those in the brightest light. I just processed this quickly, and, as you suggest, I need to process it a bit.

Re: PESO: Pink Dogwood
Thanks. I was on my tip toes on a chair to get to this, which was one of the lower blossoms. There are many other occasions when I should do what you describe, but generally I am a bit too lazy.

Re: PESO - Pink Dogwood
Very pretty pink, and the flowers are in nice shape. I tried to photograph a flowering tree by the house the other day, and couldn't find a decent bloom--lots of foxing--to borrow a book term--brown edges and such. Had to give up. Very nice, Rick.
